2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport Location: Portland, OR Asking Price: $8,400 Description: 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Two-owner vehicle, the first was my father and stepmother, who purchased the Jeep brand new in '01 in Portland; I've had it since 2015. All modification and maintenance listed here was...

Here's a link to our blog that showcase our coverage of Overland Expo West 2018. The story was written by my wife, Mercedes. We had a great time, and there was a ton to see. It's incredible how big this event keeps getting...

I sorta can't believe I didn't start a thread for this! Back in February, '18, we flew to Houston, TX and bought a 1992 SWB 2.5TD Pajero. It's got the trusty 4D56T, a 5MT, and Super Select 4WD (obviously). When we picked it up, it was on some 15x8 Pro Comp wheels and dry-rotting BFGoodrich...

Pictured above is my 1992 Pajero (2.5TD). While putting LWB springs on the rear for some lift, I noticed the rear electronically adjustable shocks are leaking. So it's time to get new shocks, and they won't be electronically adjustable. I'm familiar with some of the shocks out there for...

I just bought a '92 SWB Pajero (2.5TD). I'm looking at adding larger tires, and understand 33s will fit fairly easily, even without a lift. However, nearly everyone I've read that has said this had a LWB Pajero/Montero. Are there any differences in the SWB vs. the LWB Gen2 in terms of wheel/tire...

While I'm certain 33s can be shoehorned onto a '92 Pajero SWB, I'm concerned about the drivability. Apparently the 2G Pajeros with the 4D56T had 5.29 gears, which is great, but will it have enough power to turn 33s? (FYI, the rig is a 5MT) And I already have a 4D56T-powered Delica on 30s, and...

Just curious if anyone is using this and if they like it better than the standard 2500? Pros? Cons?

Because I hate free time and our Jeep, The PDXJ, just simply doesn't occupy 100% of my life, my wife and I bought another project. This one is an '89 Delica. It's a manual, obviously a diesel, and its a low-roof version. It's got 76,000 miles on it. Short-term plans are: 15x7 wheels 30x9.50...

Ever seen one of these before? This is a Traka, which is based on a Range Rover Classic. Quite the cool conversion. I think this might be the only one in North America (belongs to Mule Expedition Outfitters). Quite the cool little buggy. More info here...

I got to spend a week with the Outlander Sport. I really dig it, especially with the 2.4-liter engine. I'd drive an '11 and a '13 before and still liked them, but the 2.4 really helps wake it up. The CDL also is a nice touch for an AWD vehicle. I got to wondering—is anyone lifting these or...

Kei car + camper van = kei campervan! Admittedly, this wouldn't be something you'd want to travel the Interstate with, but it'd probably be great in Japan, and you could probably get around OK on highways in the U.S. I kind of love it. Here's the article I wrote about them...

My latest article in OutdoorX4 is about traveling with my Dinoot trailer (starts on p. 60). I just sold my Suzuki (aka the Teal Terror) last week, but still have my Dinoot J-Series trailer and pull it behind my XJ...

I was told I need upper and lower ball joints on my XJ. Since I am friends with the owner, I'm sure that's correct. They will let me bring in my own parts, which is great. They recommended Moog uppers and lowers. After doing some research, I've seen the Moog are certainly the premium in terms...

We are selling our 1995 Suzuki Sidekick, aka, "The Teal Terror." We purchased this vehicle in 2010 with 139,000 miles on it and have put lots of work into it to make it a fun, capable 4x4. The truck is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and the 1.6-liter 16-valve engine. It drives...

I've long had a thing for Delicas, but haven't ever driven one. Well, I finally got my chance. We put about 2,000 km on a L300 Star Wagon while in New Zealand last week. I think I'm kind of in love. You can read about it here...

My father passed away back in 2014, and left his 2001 XJ. My stepmom drove it every now and then until just recently when she said she was ready for it to move on. I'm honored to have it. I call it "Cranky," since I've had some challenges with it since getting it. Nothing super major, just...
